25th, Now!

 We have on our hands a complete nutjob. 

President Trump said in a phone interview that Iran has "agreed to everything," and will work with the U.S. to remove its enriched uranium. He insisted that doing so will not involve U.S. ground troops. But when asked who would retrieve it, he would only say "our people." "No. No troops," he said. "We'll go down and get it with them, and then we'll take it. We'll be getting it together because by that time, we'll have an agreement and there's no need for fighting when there's an agreement. Nice right? That's better. We would have done it the other way if we had to." The president said the material would then be brought to the U.S.

His mental decline is precipitous, spurred by an immense pressure from both external factors, Israel, Epstein et al, and traits of character he cannot control anymore. He cannot grasp anymore anything which contradicts his obviously grotesquely primitive if not vulgar view of the United States and its actual capabilities. He knows only one thing--New York real estate market dealings. 

Meanwhile: 

The Strait of Hormuz is once again at the center of escalating geopolitical tensions, with Iran moving to restrict vessel traffic amid an ongoing U.S. naval blockade. According to multiple reports, Iran has turned back at least 20 vessels attempting to transit the strait, while U.S. enforcement actions have redirected additional ships, bringing total disruptions to more than 20 tankers. Merchant vessels reportedly received direct radio warnings from Iranian naval forces declaring the waterway closed to all traffic following what Tehran described as a failure by Washington to uphold ceasefire commitments. The developments mark a sharp reversal from earlier optimism. Just days ago, Iran had signaled that navigation through Hormuz was “completely open” following a temporary ceasefire agreement tied to de-escalation in Lebanon. That arrangement now appears to be unraveling, with both sides maintaining overlapping restrictions—effectively choking off maritime access.

Somebody has to explain to him that the US lost, in the most humiliating fashion and the US owner, Israel, is not only beaten into the bloody pulp, but IDF, as was predicted, paraded itself as a third rate force incapable of modern war, period (use Google to translate). Sheer military incompetence. In the end, who will answer for guys on the US aircraft carriers and LHDs going effectively hungry? Just asking ...

A Hint...

 ... which is not really a hint but an order))

Russia could place restrictions on the supply of certain strategically important raw materials to the global market, President Vladimir Putin stated on Wednesday. He said exports of nuclear fuel, metals, and minerals could all be affected. The move would be a response to Western attempts to block Russia’s access to certain foreign-made goods, Putin said. ... At a government meeting on Wednesday, Putin said that despite Western restrictions, Russia continues to supply some types of goods to the world market “in large quantities” and in some cases buyers are happily stockpiling Russian products. At a government meeting on Wednesday, Putin said that despite Western restrictions, Russia continues to supply some types of goods to the world market “in large quantities” and in some cases buyers are happily stockpiling Russian products. “Russia is a leader in terms of reserves of a number of strategic types of raw materials... Yet we are limited in the supply of a number of goods – maybe we should also think about certain restrictions,” the president said. He suggested that the proposed restrictions could include the country’s exports of uranium, titanium, and nickel, as well as “certain other goods.”“There is no need to do anything to harm ourselves… I am not saying that we need to do this tomorrow. But, in general, if this will not harm us, we could think about certain restrictions on supplies to foreign markets,” Putin suggested, noting that the significance of the potential move would be difficult to underestimate given the “importance of Russian raw materials.”

Obviously, two can play the game. And once these two words--titanium and nickel--have been uttered, some people at Boeing and Airbus had a bit of an anxiety attack. As per uranium--oh boy, some interesting dynamics may develop on this market, if you know I mean. So, it looks like Russia decided to shake "foundation" of the West some more.
